Editing Kissy Suzuki (Character) (section)

==Film==

In the 1967 film adaptation, [[You Only Live Twice (Movie) | You Only Live Twice]], Kissy is one of the ninja agents working for Tanaka. She is introduced shortly after Aki is killed and is first seen in a mock wedding ceremony as James goes undercover, posing as a Japanese fisherman. Bond and Kissy eventually find Blofeld's secret base, hidden within a volcano and Kissy is sent to alert Tanaka. While swimming to her destination, she is pursued and fired upon by a SPECTRE helicopter, but her experience as a pearl diver enables her to dive underwater and stay there long enough to convince her pursuers that she drowned. After alerting Tanaka, she joins the raid that manages to foil Blofeld's scheme, thereby averting the outbreak of World War III.

In the movie, Kissy is played by [[Mie Hama]]. She was originally cast to be played by Akiko Wakabayashi; however, Hama had trouble learning English for the much bigger role of Aki, so the two decided to swap their roles. When Hama became ill during shooting, Sean Connery's wife Diane Cilento doubled for her in the swimming sequence. Her lines were dubbed by Nikki van der Zyl.
